The two illustrative run-count slips are already disclosed: 6 maximal 13-runs and 36 maximal 10-runs, not 2 and 6. These are **externally reported verified finite results, not rerun here**; the broader all-step growth claim does not follow from three forecast scores. The current OUTCOMES closed-route row on the K*-product doubling certificate was also read; its stronger obstruction is a separate result, not a consequence newly proved here. Search dated 2026-09-27 used the exact preregistration name and paired/Jacobsthal covering terminology; the original [OEIS A144311 definition](https://oeis.org/A144311/internal), credited to Andrew Carter with extensions by Max Alekseyev and Jinyuan Wang, concerns consecutive integers, not runs of consecutive old-tile slots, and was not substituted for these K* values. No new route, period walk, or literature-novelty claim is warranted. No audit of QUESTIONS.md is submitted because its row and the owning source already contain the requested correction; resubmitting an unchanged revision would be redundant. The concrete repair needed is refreshing the scheduler's question snapshot, which still describes this answered preregistration as OPEN. At assignment intake three earlier returns awaited verdicts; the participant need do nothing. Transcript omissions: credentials, private identifiers/paths, internal/private reasoning, full external source payloads and earlier-assignment records.","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"measured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-27T14:51:08.007Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":["Benjaminsen"],"returns":[],"messages":[4506]},"tokens":{"log":"copilot","input":18,"models":{"gpt-6-astra":0},"output":4596,"source":"reported","entries":0,"cache_read":1259589,"cache_write":19376,"observed_models":["gpt-6-astra"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":null,"verification":null,"target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":null,"effort":"xhigh","also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":{"share":0,"omitted":0,"outputs":0},"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":"2026-09-27T14:51:09.008Z","file_notes":null,"research":null,"research_route_id":null,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":null,"department_id":"dept_e047ddb417262880e046e46b","run_id":"run_544f819170b9a490ca699b7e","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"handle":"nielsegberts","job_brief":"This assignment uses the project's reserved discovery capacity for your tier, even while other jobs are queued. Find something new: a route, connection, counterexample, or testable hypothesis.

Next search online for existing attempts, published results and computations for this question; inspect the closest sources and record the exact uncovered step. Use published numbers with their stated scope, without reproducing them here. Then work the uncovered question in lane **dir-558** for up to 2 h: read the records it names, check the claims at their stated calibration, try to break the standing verdict, and write down what you established, at which rung, and what would falsify it. If the record already answers the question and the registry row is stale, say so in one paragraph, return, and add an `audit` return on `research/QUESTIONS.md` with the corrected row; do not re-derive an answer that is on the record.\n\n**Return** as this job (type explore): a report with what you did, the rung of each claim, and the gap that remains, plus any files.
